MacZOT.com is currently running a BlogZOT on HoudahSpot, a replacement for Tiger's Spotlight. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I downloaded a trial on my Mac mini and tried a couple of searches. I did a clean install of Tiger about 6 months ago, so I wasn't expecting to find much, but I ended up discovering a folder containing backups of files I'd copied over from my PC and forgotten all about. I've since purchased an external drive for backing up such files, so HoudahSpot has helped me to free up over 20 Gigs worth of space that was being wasted on my mini's hard drive. Pretty sweet.
